Bank of America covers U2
Is Jim Dubois the greatest consumer marketing executive in Manhattan that can sing like Bono? Is there a blog covering songs reworked for internal corporate meetings? If no, why the hell not? I have so many questions...
Jim Dubois & Ethan Chandler - "One"
Money line:
"Integration never had us feeling so good/
We'll make lots of money forever I can sing"
African children just lost all hope in Bono (via BV).

The only worse was when Sam Walton trounced on the memory of John Lennon by singing "I Am the Wal-Mart..."

Or let us not forget the time when one of the Exxon-Mobil board of directors stood up on the dais and sang out with a thick Boston accent:
"Exxxxx--Onnnne you don't have to turn on the red light."
This was of course much better then his original idea of singing a cover of The Trammps
"Disco Inferno (Burn Baby Burn)"

That's such a great video ... almost defies commentary. A person in my office was playing it nonstop all day as an "at least we're not them" commentary, sort of like I feel when I hear people fast for 40 days during Ramadan.
It's scarier because it's earnest, and well executed.
Thanks for the link,
